Feeding fruit bushes, including currant and berries, in early spring is key to supporting strong growth and providing nutrients the plant needs for a bumper crop of fruits that season. If you want the best berries this year, take time to fertilize this month.
March is an ideal time to fertilize fruit bushes as they are starting to emerge from dormancy. It is a period of great activity for the bush, and feeding with balanced, granular fertilizer or organic matter provides the nutrients they need to grow, flower, and fruit profusely.
